To avoid this, comment out the definition of SETPROCTITLE in conf.h (you should also comment out the definition of YP). I have recently got sendmail 5.61 with the IDA enhancements running under SR10.2. The trickiest part was to deal with cross-node locking of the alias database. I have a solution to this which works, except that it does not permit automatic rebuilding of the database. If there is sufficient interest I will post the patches: they are not very large. (Note that the IDA version of sendmail IS large -- about 600 kB. It should be available from a nearby friendly archive site.) -- Jim Richardson Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia ACSNET: jimr@maths.su.oz Internet: jimr@maths.su.oz.au "When she was dark she was very very dark, but when she was light she was lighter than air." -- J.
